A Practice Guided by Patient Priorities

Founded in 2015 by Dr. Terry Restivo, Restivo Plastic Surgery is a female-owned, boutique practice serving Hawaii. The practice was intentionally designed to feel calm, private, and focused, allowing patients the space to ask questions, think clearly, and make decisions that feel right to them.

Rather than pushing procedures or highlighting flaws, care begins with understanding what the patient wants to address. This approach creates trust, supports better outcomes, and ensures that every treatment plan feels personal rather than standardized.

The Philosophy Behind the Care

At Restivo Plastic Surgery, clarity is considered a form of respect. Patients receive direct, honest guidance about what will help, what may not, and when waiting or choosing a different approach makes more sense. Dr. Restivo’s training in both general and plastic surgery brings a broad perspective to aesthetic planning. From surgical precision to aesthetic judgment, each decision is guided by experience, anatomy, and long-term outcomes rather than trends or volume.

A Female-Led Perspective in Aesthetic Surgery

As a woman in a traditionally male-dominated field, Dr. Restivo brings a perspective that resonates with many patients seeking empathy, realism, and thoughtful communication. Her approach is often described as calm, direct, and grounded—offering reassurance without exaggeration.

This perspective shapes not only surgical technique, but also the patient experience. Consultations are collaborative, expectations are realistic, and care is never rushed or performative.

A Boutique Experience With Clinical Rigor

The practice environment reflects the same philosophy as the care itself. Appointments are structured to allow time for conversation. Privacy is prioritized. The setting is refined without being intimidating.

Patients are treated as individuals, not appointments on a schedule. Whether visiting for surgery, non-surgical care, or consultation, the experience is designed to feel professional, supportive, and intentional.

Care That Evolves With the Patient

Restivo Plastic Surgery offers a full spectrum of surgical and non-surgical services, allowing patients to receive care in one place as their needs change over time. Some patients pursue a single procedure. Others return for maintenance, refinement, or guidance years later.

The relationship is intended to be long-term, built on trust, communication, and shared decision-making rather than one-time transactions.
